Celje is the third biggest city of Slovenia with a bit less than 50.000 inhabitants. From 10th to 18th September sixteen young men and women representing fifteen Catholic Youth Organisations gathered there together for the European Congress.

The first days of the Congress were used to welcome the participants, get to know each other, exchange about individual experiences and work on the new orientation guidelines 2017-2020 that also included a reflection of the former OGs and the reality of youth, church and society in today´s Europe.

Thanks to the work of the present delegates during the whole week (incl. statutory part) we achieved several outcomes:

On the last day of the Congress we had the opportunity the join the National Youth Event “Sticna mladih” which was the highlight of this week, where we met lots of beautiful people including the President of Slovenia, Borut Pahor.

We want to give an extraordinary THANK YOU to SKAM Slovenia and the staff of the Saint Joseph Monastery, who hosted us, cared for us and made this stay such an exciting and comfortable one.
